State importance of wind energy

Open in App
Solution

Dear student,

Wind can be used as a reliable, clean source of renewable energy. Wind energy has been used by people for thousands of years. Today, wind energy is mainly used to generate electricity using wind turbines.

Generating electricity from wind has many advantages. Wind energy:

  • is clean and does not produce greenhouse gases
  • is low cost once the turbines are installed
Wind energy is energy collected from motion caused by heavy winds.
Wind energy is collected in turbines with propellers that spin when the wind blows and turn the motion of the propeller into energy that can be used in the electrical grid.
Wind energy is a clean, renewable energy source that is abundant in windy areas. Large wind farms are often located outside of cities, supplying power for electrical grids within the city.
It is produced from bio degradable materials such as manure, sewage, plant material etc. It is primarily methane and carbon dioxide. The gas is produced through the action of bacteria or fermentation of the biodegradable materials.
It has many uses like used for cooking or lightening. The electricity generation is a valuable option with the biogas produced in large anaerobic digesters.It is also used in running tube-well and water pump-set engines.
